Something was off...

"This Ultimate Formation… is incomplete..."

Or rather, it was only a part of the entire Ultimate Formation.

Mo Hua had drawn it, but still felt it was lacking something. The Spiritual Power could flow and undergo special changes, but it was quite disparate, as if it were an abandoned segment.

"Why is it incomplete?"

Mo Hua didn’t understand.

The Formation eye, Formation pivot, and Formation Patterns were all intact.

And what exactly was the effect of this Ultimate Formation?

Spiritual Power in the Formation was split into even finer filaments, like threads twisted together, each with a special flow.

Looking fascinating yet baffling...

What’s the purpose of drawing this Formation on a Zombie’s circulatory paths?

Mo Hua could not figure it out and, thinking that two heads are better than one, went to consult Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.

Bai Zixi said with a slight frown,

"Perhaps, it’s for Corpse control..."

"Corpse control?"

Mo Hua asked doubtfully, "Don’t Corpse cultivators have their own methods to control zombies? Why would they need to use an Ultimate Formation?"

If one strictly needed an Ultimate Formation to control zombies, then there wouldn’t be many Corpse cultivators in the world, nor many Cultivators capable of refining zombies.

After all, only a handful of Formation Masters know the Ultimate Formations.

Yet, Corpse Refinement and Corpse control are a relatively prominent school on the Demon Path.

Corpse cultivators engaged in Corpse Refinement are not rare in the Demon Path.

Bai Zixi pondered and said, "Controlling zombies is easy, but the quantity is an issue."

"Quantity?" Mo Hua was slightly startled.

Bai Zisheng, however, remembered something and nodded,

"Right, an ordinary Corpse cultivator can’t control so many zombies."

"A few dozen zombies, that Zhang Quan controls with ease, is indeed curious. Moreover, he may have refined even more zombies. That’s not right..."

Mo Hua became enlightened.

If a Corpse cultivator could control so many zombies, then leveraging the tactic of a ’zombie sea’, no other Cultivator of the same rank could possibly be his match.

This was clearly too overpowering.

Bai Zixi continued, "Normally, a Corpse cultivator controls a few to a dozen zombies, never dozens like that."

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened.

That said, Zhang Quan could possibly control so many zombies thanks to the Ultimate Formation.

Where’s the other part of the Ultimate Formation then?

Mo Hua pondered briefly, then his eyes brightened:

"That copper bell?"

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng also nodded slightly.

Zhang Quan uses a copper bell to control zombies. If the Ultimate Formation is incomplete, it’s likely that the other part of the Formation is inscribed on the copper bell.

As for the principle behind this Formation, one has to wait until Mo Hua can find the complete Formation and study it to understand it.

"It seems that I need to find Zhang Quan..."

Mo Hua nodded and muttered to himself.

At the same time, he had another doubt.

The Ultimate Formation for controlling zombies, with a rank of one and twelve patterns, could it be... that Ultimate Formation of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect?

Mo Hua furrowed his brows, thinking carefully.

A Formation with one rank and twelve patterns, exceeding limits, is extremely rare.

It seems very unlikely for the Minor Wilderness state boundary to coincidentally have two Ultimate Formations of one rank and twelve patterns.

Moreover, the Spirit Pivot Formation, the Spirit pivot, the Spiritual Power pivot point...

It also sounds like the effect of controlling zombies.

If this Formation truly is the Spirit Pivot Formation, then who drew it?

Who can master an Ultimate Formation and is willing to draw it for Zhang Quan for corpse control?

Could the one who drew the Formation be the traitor from the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect?

Or perhaps... Instructor Yan?

Mo Hua’s heart chilled, his expression turning complicated.
